Chapter 4: Mending the Heavens (Part 4)

Tang Gong Li Yuan certainly knew what the good opportunity in Shimin's mouth meant. Since the day of the army, the father and son have been arguing over the topic of "borrowing" from the Turks. On several occasions, Li Yuan was very angry, and he couldn't wait to press his son in the middle of a large pile of recorded words, so that he could take a closer look at how critical the situation faced by the Li family at the beginning and how helpless his choice was. But he knew that even this would not save him from his majesty as a father, and that the son had grown up and had his own opinion on everything. You can't see him as a little hairy boy who only looks at his father, and you can't look directly at the disappointment burning in his eyes.

"It's really an opportunity." Li Yuan finally spoke, his voice was not loud, but all the hustle and bustle in the Chinese military tent fell silent for a moment. "If we want to win this land, we must first earn the respect of this land! Shimin is right, if we don't even have the courage to fight the Turks, even if we take the Central Plains completely, we will soon lose it again! ”

"Tang Gong!" In the silence, Liu Wenjing's voice seemed abrupt and sharp. "Tang Gong, please think twice!" He swallowed and foamed at the mouth, looking up straight ahead, trying not to look at the quietly burning anger around him. "The number of wolf riders is very large, and other heroes may not help us, and, and may also be black-handed from behind!"

"I know!" Li Yuan smiled lightly, then slowly got up from his seat and faced everyone very frankly, "The decision to borrow power from the Turks was the biggest mistake the old man made in his life. Since you have made a mistake, you have to find a way to remedy it, and you can't go all the way to the dark! ”

The candlelight danced, illuminating Li Yuan's old and tired face. At this moment, his spine, which had begun to grow slightly, suddenly became taller. His gaze swept over his shocked faces, and he continued, "Starting tomorrow, let's storm Chang'an. Ten days later, no matter whether Chang'an can be broken or not, half of you will have to turn around and head north! ”

"I am willing to die for Tang Gong!" The generals clenched their fists at the same time and replied loudly.

"Tang Gong......." Liu Wenjing still wanted to insist, but when the words came to her mouth, she was forced back into her throat by Li Yuan with her gaze. The old man did promise to pay his children's jade silk to Shi Bi that day, in order to have no worries about the future. But the old man never promised to cede half an inch of land to him! ”

"Tang Gong Shengming!" Regardless of whether they were optimistic about this local prince known as an old woman at first, at this moment, all the heroes were convinced by Li Yuan. A Tang Gong who knew his mistakes and could change, had the courage to take responsibility, and refused to bend his knees to foreign enemies stood in front of them again. The tiger's back is majestic.

It's been a long time since he's heard such eager cheers, and Li Yuan's mood is as turbulent as his subordinates. "The old man didn't promise to cede the land to them!" He confessed loudly, as if a god was listening in the dark, "The old man is not qualified to cede an inch of land from me to a foreign enemy." Not only did the old man not, but Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu, Xue Ju, and even His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor did not have this qualification! ”

"Tang Gong! Tang Gong! Suddenly, the cheers were like a tsunami, drowning out all the noise around them. I don't know who led the way, the vulgar and unwritten reckless heroes walked up to Li Yuan one after another, took off their swords, and offered them to him with both hands. Li Yuan, whose eyes were shining with tears, took these sabers over, and then put them on his waist for his subordinates.

At this moment, he won more than just loyalty.

After the decision was made, the plan for the assault on Chang'an City was quickly formulated. No matter who Li Yuan set his sights on, no general would try to retain his own strength. Several green forest tycoons from Guanzhong even had a dispute over the ownership of the main attack task, and none of them were half a step behind, and they were so red in the face that they were red-faced.

"Alright, let's attack on all sides at the same time! No matter what it is! At the critical moment, Tang Gong Li Yuan made a decision again, "Ximen Gui Wan'er's women's army, Sun Hua, Wang Yuantong, Qi Poning, you decide for yourself who will go to the city first, and who will fight the second wave!" ”

"No!" Li Wan'er led the group of heroes under her command to happily come out and receive the first arrow from her father.

"The right army of the South Gate is returned to the Shimin Division, Hongji and Shunde, you two are keeping an eye on him on the side, don't let him make a big mistake recklessly like the last battle of Huoyi!" He glanced at his second son, who was eager to try, and commanded loudly.

"I am willing to fight side by side with the second son!" Liu Hongji hurriedly agreed, and at the same time walked quickly behind Li Shimin.

In the battle of Huoyi, Song Laosheng, who was surrounded by heavy troops, fought his way out of trouble from Li Shimin's side. If it weren't for Liu Hongji's skillful horse control skills, this person would definitely not be able to get out of the city and create great trouble for the Taiyuan soldiers and horses. But Liu Hongji knew that the fault at that time was not Li Shimin. Song Laosheng is a general in a hundred battles, and the experience of the sand field is certainly not comparable to that of a teenager like Li Shimin, who has just debuted for a long time. Moreover, if Li Shimin hadn't tried his best to stop him, Song Laosheng would not have been so tired that he couldn't even resist Liu Hongji's move.

Most of the generals were immersed in pride and didn't see Liu Hongji's embarrassment at all. But there is no shortage of people with a keen sense of smell, Liu Wenjing's eyes flashed quickly, looked at Li Shimin, and peeked at Li Jiancheng. He was going to say a few words to show that he was not a timid person who was afraid of death, but suddenly he thought of a better countermeasure, and a subtle smile welled up on the corner of his mouth.

"The north gate was built into the left army of the department, and the old man personally led the Chinese army to detour to the east of the city. The one who enters the city first is the commander of the Northern Expedition! After a pause, Li Yuan continued. You are far younger than the old man, don't be afraid to move forward, let the old man take the lead! ”

"The last general will not dare to lose to Tang Gong!" The crowd responded with a bang.

"Go down and rest, tomorrow morning and sunrise, it will be the time for the old man and you to compete in the same game!" Li Yuan waved his hand and ordered with a laugh.

"No!" The generals bowed to him again, and then they went out one after another. When the lively Chinese army tent returned to silence again, the exhausted Li Yuan let out a sigh and slowly sat back on the Hu bed behind the handsome case.

He was really tired, not only because of the complicated military affairs in front of him, but also because of the many invisible wars taking place in the dark. The emperor's seat was not comfortable, and before he started the army, Li Yuan was prepared in his heart. However, he never expected that the surging undertide would come so early and so violently.

"Tang Gong handled it so wonderfully just now!" Pei Lian's voice sounded from his side, and Li Yuan was so startled that he immediately pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife.

"It's a subordinate! Not an assassin! Pei Lian, who was used to laughing with Li Yuan, walked forward quickly, pulled a stool, and Shi Shiran sat opposite the handsome case.

"Sit, you don't make a sound when you walk, like a ghost. Whoever was on duty tonight let people in without saying a word! Li Yuan didn't take Pei Lian's faux pas as his anger at all, smiled and blamed.

Pei Lin smiled and shook his head, "The subordinates didn't have a big account just now, but Tang Gong was too tired, so he didn't see his subordinates!" ”

"It's a little tired, people are old, and they are no longer as energetic as when they were young!" Li Yuan sighed and responded in a low voice. He and Pei Lin have known each other for many years, so they should not be in front of the generals, and Li Yuan is not willing to be too rigid in courtesy. He, the head of the family, was already tired enough, and if he couldn't even find someone to talk to, wouldn't it be more and more boring to do?

Pei Lin knew that Li Yuan's mood was not as happy as it was in front of everyone, and he also knew the specific reasons that caused the other party to be exhausted. This is one of the prices to be paid for the competition for the world, and no one can escape it. But he has the means to make Li Yuan's life easier, such as talking to the other party about women and wine.

"I heard that Yang Guang hid a lot of peerless beauties in the palace city of Chang'an. Many women enter the palace from the age of thirteen, and they don't have their turn to be lucky until they are in their twenties! ”

"That's Li Mi's rumor. Although His Majesty is neglectful of government affairs, he is extremely dedicated to the queen. It's not like you haven't seen the palace people we released along the way, there are no more than 300 people in total, and many of them entered the palace when the emperor was alive! Li Yuan knew that the ministers were out of kindness, so he cheered up and said.

The heroes rose up against the Sui, and naturally they wanted to completely defeat Yang Guang in terms of personality. So in recent years, rumors about Yang Guang's absurdity and stupidity have spread widely. But Li Yuan knew that most of them were unscrutinizing. Yang Guang is a tyrant, and no one can deny this conclusion. But Yang Guang is not a pervert and an idiot, otherwise he would not have deceived Yang Su, Yu Wenshu, and Mai Tiecane, who were from different backgrounds and had different interests, and squeezed his brother from the position of the prince.

Thinking of the tragedy of Yang Yong's family, the mood he had just cheered up was depressed again. "It's easy to watch other people's jokes, but if it's really your turn, you probably won't even notice it when you're laughed at! Alas, if I had known this, why would I have tried to do anything in the world! ”

The wind outside suddenly became stronger, blowing the candles crookedly. The marching commander Shi Pei Lin quickly stood up and re-covered the felt door of the military tent. He pricked up his ears and listened while Li Yuan was not paying attention, and after being sure that there was no abnormal movement around him, he sat back down opposite Li Yuan and spoke cautiously, "In fact, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. Do the children have a future, and the parents don't know who to give the family business to. But if the children are not promising, they will be even more sad when they become parents. So, Tang Gong might as well take a look. Anyway, when the time comes, who chooses to inherit the family business is not up to us who are old! ”

"I'm afraid, the children's wings are stiff, and it's not easy to take care of the old ones!" Li Yuan sighed and shook his head, "I won't sell it to you, anyway, there is no one near Zuo, so don't treat me as a captain, just when I am still Mrs. Li, I will peek at the beauties in Jinyang Palace with you!" ”

Pei Lin was amused by Li Yuan's words. "Then I'll have to hurry, I'm afraid there aren't many opportunities to talk to you like that. When you enter Chang'an, you will first award me 1,000 hectares of land and 20,000 yuan. Don't pretend to be fair and honest with me, so that I will follow you in vain and make a rebellion! ”

"You're not afraid to kill yourself!" Li Yuan raised his arm and slapped Pei Lin under his nose. "With that money, I still have to give relief to the homeless. Here you go, your family is already rich, why add the icing on the cake! ”

"A yard is a yard!" Pei Lin smiled, salivated and stretched his hand back again. "Everyone follows Tang Gong today for the sake of justice in the world. But righteousness is not something to eat. There are a few people who pin their heads to their belts not to grab money, land, or women. You look at the heroes of the world, no matter what banner they are pulling to rebel, the ultimate goal boils down to the three benefits of money, land, and women? ”
